First of all, I'd like to thank WBB for all the info and inspiration.
I'd like to thank all the posters here for information and inspiration again, someday I'll catch up to all y'all!

I love you all!!!

I hit a one rep of 225 twice, after doing sets of 45, 135, 135, 185, 185 to warm up! I did the one rep, knew I couldn't do another one so I put it down so I wouldn't over strain myself, but I was PUMPED!!

WOOOOOOO!!!
I love you all!!!

I got back to my room here in a res and almost cried!
THANK YOU!!!!

Well done. Now you must hit 230 next week.

Actually, the last time I did deads was like two weeks previous.
One week's rest will be great.

Including the fact that one guy in TO made an internet challenge to me for 3 3minute K-1 rounds. So no weights for a bit, just bag work. Haha.

That's tough. I did one 4 minute round, then a 2 then a 1 and then I was bagged. I can imgaine how tough that'll be.

Hmmm, maybe. It's all about learning to relax and don't be tense. I actually do fairly long bagwork sessions and I've trained in stand up fighting styles previous.

Remember, stand up striking endurance does not equal grappling endurance.
At least you should have the 'harder' one, grappling,

I wasn't saying one was harder than the other either way. I was simply saying that it must be challenging. That's because I have the conditioning of an 80 year old female. No offense to 80 year old females.

WELL I AM! I can get very......'involved' when discussing MA, sorry. Hahhaha!
Loved the anology.

Edit: I should also say, at the end I was just deadlifting the bar for blood flow, and on my last rep I had planned for the bar only, I dropped it on my knee again, tore a chunk of skin off the knee. That'll slow down my bag work with kneeing a bit. Hah.

AGAIN!

Also, my recently dislocated shoulder seemed to be fine for the deads this session.

And if you don't hit 230, 225 will have been pointless. Not to discourage you or anything though :p

Congrats on the 225 man.

Did you tear a chunk of skin off or just get a cut? They used to have us super glue cuts shut on places like the knee or elbow sometimes. Just a thought.

As great as it is to set PRs on the bench and squat, NOTHING can top a PR deadlift. Something about pulling up more weight than you ever have an deads is the greatest! :)

Woah! When I saw the "FOUR plates" title, I thought you were gonna post four plates per side!!!
:o

I did my first "three plates" deadlift last week, but it cheated because I don't have six total 45lb plates in my garage, so I used four 45lb plates, two 35lbs plates, and two 10s.

Haha, as long as it adds up! :D

Always great to receive advice from the older posters.
I better superglue my hands for grip on the bar as well.

I thought so too...

4pps is doable by just about anyone above about 170lbs if they train for a few years, so keep working on it!
